So cool that you took a class! I’ve been really thinking about what could take my photography to the next level. Actually getting more serious about blogging has helped–its like a series of mini projects. Keep up the good posts!

My house has very few sources of natural light, but I quickly figured that it was also the only way to really get perfect pictures (it’s pretty obvious in my blog, which were taken with and without). I’d love to take a photography class, sounds really interesting! Keep sharing with us!

Thank you for a great post! I’m curious to hear how natural light is managed. Here in Chicago, it feels like we live under clouds all the time and my pictures tend to have a blue tone to it. Would you be able to share any thoughts or learnings? Here are some examples.

How lucky that you managed a food photography class! I’ve also purchased lowel lights to compensate for the fact that I can’t take pictures during the day however have also been contemplating just rearranging my schedule so that I can actually shoot when there is light as well. It does make a difference.

And I thought I was the only one who had re-arranged their living room to get better shots! I have leagues to go (and am having a ball on the journey), but appreciate greatly your tips and experience.

As my photography teacher says:
Sin luz no hay foto – there is no picture without light-

… he also teached me to appreciate natural light as it is; and not as I want it to be (bright, perfect sunny no clouds in the horizon…), the key he says is to learn to *listen* to her (the light) and know how she wants to be interpreted in the picture…

lovely isn’t?

I’ve tried for years to get good pictures in unnatural light and it just doesn’t work. I couldn’t agree with you more about needing natural light for awesome pictures!
